--Remove provisions stating that for jetways and baggage conveyors to be deemed real property, the land upon which they are attached must be owned by the owner of the jetways and baggage conveyors.

--Remove obsolete reference to definitions that are no longer included in Rule 12A-1.044, F.A.C.

--Remove provisions regarding the storage of aircraft or boats redundant of Rule 12A-1.073, F.A.C., and remove “Storage of Boats and Aircraft” from the rule title to reflect this change.

--Provide that the lessee who records a cancellation or termination fee as rental income, and who does not pay the tax to the lessor, is required to remit the tax directly to the Department.
--Provide when tax is due on the cost price of real property improvements completed or funded by a tenant, as provided in Department of Revenue v. Seminole Clubs, Inc., 745 So.2d 473 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999) and Department of Revenue v. Ruehl No. 925, LLC, 76 So.3d 389 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011).
--Include the exemption for the rental, license, or lease of real property from the turnpike enterprise as provided in Section 338.234, F.S. (Amended by Section 52, Chapter 2007-196, L.O.F.)
--Provide that, consistent with Section 212.031(2)(b), F.S., the amount of tax due on consideration paid for the use of real property is not decreased by a progression of transactions.

- In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Florida Legislature (under Section 496 of Chapter 2011-142, Laws of Florida) charged the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Board) with establishing the Commission on Oil Spill Response Coordination (Commission) to identify ways to ensure that the health and welfare of Florida’s citizens and natural resources are best protected in the future from potential disasters. The Commission is required to prepare a report for review and approval by the Board which:
•Identifies potential changes to state and federal laws and regulations which will improve the oversight and monitoring of offshore drilling activities and increase response capabilities to offshore oil spills;
•Identifies potential changes to state and federal laws and regulations which will improve protections for public health and safety, occupational health and safety, band the environment and natural resources;
•Evaluates the merits of the establishment of a federal Gulf-wide disaster relief fund;
•Evaluates the need for a unified and uniform advocacy process for damage claims;
•Evaluates the need for changes to interstate coordination agreements in order to reduce the potential for damage claims and lawsuits; and
•Addresses other related issues as determined by the Commission.
This will be the inaugural meeting of the Commission to begin the process of creating the report that is due to the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection, and the Executive Director of the Department of Economic Opportunity by January 1, 2013.
This meeting will set the operating structure and process of the Commission and set a timeline for actions. Six sub-reports will be discussed by the Commission – one addressing each task of the final report. Draft outlines will be provided and discussions will include goals and expectations for the full reports, expected content and data gaps, and the schedule and process for each sub-report.
